Service · Plano, Texas
Pre-purchase inspection
An independent inspection before you buy a European or exotic car, with photos, video and a plain report on what you are taking on.
The work
What's included
A clean car and a clean history report do not tell you what the next year will cost. A pre-purchase inspection does.
We inspect the car as if we were buying it ourselves: a factory-level diagnostic scan, then the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, electrics and body.
You receive the findings as a digital report with photos and video, so you can negotiate, walk away or buy with confidence.
- Factory-level diagnostic scan of every module
- Engine, transmission and driveline inspection
- Brakes, tires, steering and suspension
- Electrical systems and driver assistance warnings
- Leaks, underbody and visible body condition
- Review of the service records you or the seller provide
- A digital report with photos, video and notes

Questions
Why get a pre-purchase inspection on a European car?
Repairs on European and exotic cars can be expensive, and many problems are invisible on a test drive. An inspection tells you what the car needs before you agree a price.
What does a pre-purchase inspection include?
A diagnostic scan of every module, an inspection of the engine, transmission, brakes, tires, steering, suspension, electrics, underbody and visible body condition, and a look at the service records provided. The findings arrive as a digital report with photos and video.
Can you inspect a car I am buying from a dealer or a private seller?
Yes. The car needs to be brought to our shop in Plano. Most sellers agree to an independent inspection. One who refuses is telling you something.
How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?
It depends on the car. We confirm the time when you book, and the report follows by text or email.
Do you inspect exotic and collector cars?
Yes. The makes we service include Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin and Maserati, as well as the German makes.
Will you tell me if I should not buy the car?
We tell you what we find and what it means, plainly. The decision is yours, and the report gives you what you need to make it.
